Buckingham Nicks Tour - if it happens, what would be in the setlist?

[dontlookdown]

So it sounds like both Lindsey and Stevie are open to Buckingham Nicks shows next year.
The album runs under 40 minutes, which would make for a really short set.
What else should they play?

I thought it was great that Tom Petty avoided all Heartbreakers songs when he did his Mudcrutch shows a few years ago; but I kind of doubt Buckingham Nicks can avoid Fleetwood Mac songs.
But wouldn't it be great if they didn't do Go Your Own Way, Big Love, Dreams, and Gold Dust Woman?
It would be a great opportunity to play some songs they haven't played in a long time.
I Don't Want to Know, Angel, Crystal, etc.

[Hawkeye]

My criteria for a BuckinghamNicks set would be only songs whose genesis is pre-75 could be played. so they Could do songs like Sorcerer. The only problem with that is it leaves a lot of material for Stevie to do and not Lindsey since she has tons of songs pre-75 that didn't come out for many years while Lindsey's songs are all basically written and then recorded simultaneously. There's no Lindsey vault :laugh: So to make thing even I guess Frozen Love will have to have a 30 minute guitar solo.

[jbrownsjr]

They should do tunes from their respective solo careers. Lots to choose from!!

[SteveMacD]

I think the rule should be songs written prior to them joining Fleetwood Mac, even if those songs were eventually released by Fleetwood Mac. No solo songs or songs written while they were in Fleetwood Mac.

[Madness Fades]

They would have to play Twisted too. So basically the buckingham nicks album and that.
Not in a gazillion years can I see it happening.

[mike_nh]

it will never happen due to the simple fact that stevie for whatever ''lame'' reason won't
go back into her past and do older songs. If anything she would maybe do a very simple version of songs she's comfortable with Rhiannon,ect. Maybe Lindsey would play a more simple loose style but as far as stevie's vocal's I just don't see her moving out of her comfort zone.

[KarmaContestant]

I think it should be limited to the album itself. There's nothing wrong with an hour-long show, and limiting it to BN and material written for BNII (stuff that would be on a bonus disc) should be sufficient.

[mylittledemon]

I'd love for it to be an acousticy type tour. Something small and intimate... maybe 12-14 songs. If so, Landslide and Big Love would undoubtedly be part of the set.

[elle]

they can have only songs that were either BN 1 or 2 (so that would make tons on SN songs eligible, including Secret Love, Moonlight, and WY, right?) and the rest of the time they can fill in with their old-people-rambling comedy act a la WY intro. :laugh: :laugh:

guess poor LB wouldn't have too many songs since his most productive periods as a songwriter came much later. so he will need to carry most of the comedy routine! :lol: which could actually work nicely if he has interactive audience. :shrug:

never gonna happen of course. LB doesn't know how to do a show without NGBA and BL (although he's done without GYOW before!), and SN doesn't seem to know how to do a show without Landslide, Rhiannon (which are both BN anyway), Dreams, or i guess GDW?

or SN can do all her BN-era written songs, while LB can do his newer solo songs? now, that i would go see!! :nod: :cool:

but good news - no Sara!! :p :D

there's tons of stuff wrong with an hr-only show in my book.

LB OMS was only 75-85 mins, but at least there were no 10-mins songs and no long between-songs rambling, and no band intros (since there was no band!). so in that time frame he'd do 13-14.5 songs depending on whether he was doing requests or not. still, that was way too short!

with having SN there, you have 10 mins GDW, 10 mins Sara, 10 mins WY intro and that's already half of your hour! :lol: i know many peeps here would seem to be perfectly happy with that, but i don't think that's something to be encouraged! although i guess you all could be happy because you wouldn't see me at the show like that. although hard to believe probably, there are limits to what i'd do to see LB perform, and that would be it. :p :laugh:

[fairydust75]

Wow, I would love to dream, but I just don't think it going to happen. Mama's going back to her solo gig asap.
But.....she will leave you...crying in the night....
Maybe Lola can join Linds for a short tour..
I know some of your are thinking but...Don't let me down again...
But Races are run leaving us Without a leg to stand on...
...I think I'm getting the Cathouse blues:shrug:

[mike_nh]

bring it full circle...do a bn tour then retire..perfect end to a fairytale story.

[elle]

bring it full circle...do a bn tour then retire..perfect end to a fairytale story.

as long as that means only retire from BN or FM, and LB goes back to full-time solo immediately, and indefinitely, i'm good with that. and by immediately i mean 2014.

i'm putting all my faith in SN that she will put an end to all these future BN or FM plans, and fast! :D

Ha! Have you any dreams you'd like to sell? She was the one insisting per Lindsey they do something for the anniversary and he couldn't see squeezing it into the break.

she was the one who put an end to FM album and FM tour last year and by doing that directly responsible for OMS happening. i count on her to pull something like that in 2014 and Lindsey has to go solo again. :D

[mylittledemon]

there's tons of stuff wrong with an hr-only show in my book.


With a Mac show it's easy for them to have breaks though. Just as a duo they wouldn't have the luxury of that. Anyway, I wouldn't mind more songs of course. Also some stories behind some of the Buckingham Nicks tracks during the show itself would be nice.

Right. Well, time will tell. Don't hold your breath for anything though...

I could see them doing another FM leg over here actually. But, I believe (and not just because I want it) that BN is on the books.

That's true, Brandon. I would love those stories too and God knows they could just do the BN songs and let Stevie tell stories and it would be a tour hour show easily... ;)

I don't want them to do FM songs though. I wouldn't mind things like Rhiannon or Blue Letter - anything they actually did as BN is cool. Just not Goldfish and the Ladybug. Which reminds me, how did WE all have those demos but THEY lost them in some cassette swallowing couch in 1974, but she still had Sorcerer, Nomad and Designs of Love? It's a mystery!

[WildHearted]

To me, they could do anything they played as BN or that were written during that period... so these are the songs I'd like to hear (in no particular order). I mean, I don't particularly care to hear Landslide or NGBA or Rhiannon but since they are concert staples and they fit in that criteria, I stuck them in. Anyway:

That's actually a really decent set list. I would remove NGBA though and replace it with ISA since he wrote that prior to moving to LA and technically NGBA wasn't in it's completed form until FM.

Landslide as bad as I want it gone, it is technically a BN era song.

[CADreaming]

Hehehe - you can skip this tour. It's fine. :p

Just let me have BN ONCE - just ONCE! Then, you can have LB back and everybody's happy. :D

Ah, that's true. I'd forgotten he only played it instrumental as BN. I was just going off the top of my head.

I'd prefer ISA anyway. :nod:

if they do one show, film it or something, that would be perfectly fine with me...

but if they do 3 months worth of shows and i know he's out there performing but have no idea what he'd do after that... i guess as long as he's back solo really fast after that. :nod:

Which reminds me, how did WE all have those demos but THEY lost them in some cassette swallowing couch in 1974, but she still had Sorcerer, Nomad and Designs of Love? It's a mystery!

Or sometimes, the demos were just on the floor, which tells me that her housekeeping skills were not all that crack, despite all of her assertions to the contrary.

But I contend the demo was not lost. I don't think Stevie had any interest in playing that song for FM in the seventies. Maybe by the time Mirage or Tango came around she would not have minded a duet, but she didn't want to do that song during her early years with FM.

Excellent point! Of course, if Keith was leaving her little "gifts" in the house plants then I can see how she must have got distracted. No wonder she never noticed the friends walking out with armloads of cassettes they would harbor secretly, waiting, just waiting for the invent of the internets and Youtube.

I'd (hypothetically of course *knocks on wood*) like this quite a bit. I adore 'Sorceror', and I'd die for "California Dreamin'" shmuck that I am.

For more Lindsey songs (just in general, not a criticism of the above list) what about "Circles in Time"? Is that the right era? There's just so many more Stevie songs to think of ... "You Won't Forget Me"? "That's Alright"? "Farewell Failure" (though I'm not a huge fan of it but.)?

Oh, for sure. She may have eventually forgotten about it as the decades wore on, but I doubt they ever truly lost it. And if they did, then I doubt it was ever returned to them.. and then lost again, lmao.

[gypsy-sara]

My criteria for a BuckinghamNicks set would be only songs whose genesis is pre-75 could be played.

They have to play the ENTIRE "Buckingham Nicks" album and "Without You".
But the rest of the songs should not be restricted to pre-75.

It would be great if they included some of their collaborations with other singers from the late 70s, for example "Gold" and "Midnight Wind". Lindsey could easily sing the John Stewart lines.
Another great choice would be "Whenever I Call You Friend".

I would also love them to perform some songs from their early solo albums, for example "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around", "Bella Donna", "Trouble" and "I'll Tell You Now".

And they should definitely perform a medley of "Wild Heart" and "Can't Go Back"! :]

Some Fleetwood Mac gems would also be great! I would especially love to hear "Tango In The Night", "When I See You Again", "Welcome To The Room... Sara", "Book Of Love", "Straight Back", "Make Me A Mask", "What Makes You Think You're The One", "That's All For Everyone" and "Save Me A Place".

I like that idea. Kinda like "Storytellers" BN version.

[secret love]

I'd definitely go to a Buckingham Nicks concert if they do tour as a duo, and if I am able to -it would probably mean a holiday to the States for me though (not a bad thing, but at the moment I can't afford it)...Australia doesn't get much LB solo love...so I doubt he and Stevie would tour Australia together (as a duo). I would like to hear this set of songs live (see below).

I know it is very unlikely but I would love to see/hear Stevie's solo version of Rhiannon debuted live in concert in 1981 (extended piano introduction and additional lyrics) - but with Stevie playing grand piano - just the intro. That is, Lindsey exits the stage at the end of the previous song, Steph takes her seat behind the piano, playing and singing the intro, then she stands up (cue applause: "****, she plays piano? Who knew?"), Lindsey comes back on stage and plays the rest of the song on guitar, Stevie singing lead and Lindsey harmonising as usual. :nod:

Just call it Buckingham Nicks. They don't need some cutesy name. They might want to throw Anniversary in there.

Stevie & Lindsey have both mentioned the idea of doing either one live show or a small tour as part of promoting the re-release. I definitely don't think it's a throwaway comment. They have been talking it up for a while, re-recorded a BN track and performed it live with FM and talked about BN every night of a successful tour, plus mentioned the track was originally going to be saved for the BN re-release.

[GavinBrown]

Stevie should open solo for 45 mins
Lindsey should appear solo after for 45 mins
The two of them should join together and perform for an hour of BN material

Candlebright (aka "Nomad")

After The Glitter Fades

3) Landslide (because it has pretty much ALWAYS been performed by just the two of them. Early on, Christine played her electric piano solo as on the FM '75 album, but in recent years it's just been Lindsey & Stevie.)
Never Going Back Again (Lindsey would definitely be singing it instead of playing it instrumentally)


Possible Drops from the Tuscaloosa set: :shrug:
Heartbreaker (Circle In Time)
You Won't Forget Me

Despite their being more known as Fleetwood Mac songs, I think they'd probably keep "Monday Morning" & "Rhiannon" (and maybe "Landslide" too) in the Buckingham Nicks set, as a "these are the songs that got us into Fleetwood Mac songs". Yes, I know the "Frozen Love" story with Mick & Keith Olsen, yadda, yadda, yadda...but MM & Rhiannon were the songs they were working on in the studio when Mick arrived.

Yes, I know the "Frozen Love" story with Mick & Keith Olsen, yadda, yadda, yadda...but MM & Rhiannon were the songs they were working on in the studio when Mick arrived.

Sounds about right...I can see that. Yep Landslide is a must. Rhiannon and Monday Morning? MM I can take it or leave it but I definitely want Rhiannon - maybe even sing the original lyric "Rhiannon rings like a bell through the night and who will be her master?". But Rhiannon I think should have a piano solo in there somewhere and I would love to see Stevie play this solo...but it will probably not happen.

Okay so they had plenty of songs which weren't on BN that never made it on to Mac albums...hm...maybe releasing the vinyl Buckingham Nicks on CD [and vinyl reissue] could be followed up with the release of all these old songs, maybe just 2 or 3 brand new written especially for Buckingham Nicks II as well? Just maybe.

If there is a Buckingham Nicks 40th Anniversary Tour it will probably be very brief I think we can agree, maybe similar duration to the Mirage Tour?

But lots of old gems, some hits, and personally: they have to do the original vinyl Buckingham Nicks album track by track - sequenced as it is on the record. Then they can add whatever else they like, or just leave it at that. I think they said to Rolling Stone a few months back the BN Tour is a "situation where we would do the whole album".

Only you stipulated this rule ...
So what?

refer back to the original poster's comments at the beginning of the thread, where he (or she) says he would like to see rare Fleetwood Mac songs written by Stevie/Lindsey played at a Buckingham/Nicks Tour.
I don't want to see rare Fleetwood Mac songs played on a Buckingham Nicks tour. I want to hear Buckingham Nicks songs played on a Buckingham Nicks tour. If the songs were written and performed by Stevie and Lindsey in the context of Buckingham Nicks, then it's appropriate for those songs to be played. In the case of "Twisted", it was credited to Stevie Nicks & Lindsey Buckingham, which is basically the same thing.

However, I don't want to hear "Dreams", "Go Your Own Way", "Thrown Down", or "Tango In The Night" at a Buckingham Nicks show. Those are Fleetwood Mac songs, and if they're going to do THOSE songs, then they might as well get Mick and John and go out as Fleetwood Mac. And, I really don't want to hear a bunch of solo songs, either. They have solo careers for that.

A Buckingham Nicks reunion tour, IMO, should uniquely be about Buckingham Nicks the band.

Anyway what would they name the tour? Together Forever: 40 Years ...anyone have a better name?
Buckingham Nicks: Reflecting Our Past Tour.

And how likely is it that BN will tour again as a duo after all this time ...
Really, they'd be no more a duo than they are today in Fleetwood Mac.

[Nicks Fan]

If they do tour I suspect the setlist would be the entire album from B/N as well as any of the unreleased songs from the recording sessions and if they do any FM material it would likely be all the standards(GYW, Dreams, Landslide, GDW, Rhianannon, BL, ISA). While I wouldn't want to hear the same old FM songs for the millionth time I could stomach it if they did the whole B/N album.

So what?


I don't want to see rare Fleetwood Mac songs played on a Buckingham Nicks tour. I want to hear Buckingham Nicks songs played on a Buckingham Nicks tour. If the songs were written and performed by Stevie and Lindsey in the context of Buckingham Nicks, then it's appropriate for those songs to be played. In the case of "Twisted", it was credited to Stevie Nicks & Lindsey Buckingham, which is basically the same thing.

However, I don't want to hear "Dreams", "Go Your Own Way", "Thrown Down", or "Tango In The Night" at a Buckingham Nicks show. Those are Fleetwood Mac songs, and if they're going to do THOSE songs, then they might as well get Mick and John and go out as Fleetwood Mac. And, I really don't want to hear a bunch of solo songs, either. They have solo careers for that.

A Buckingham Nicks reunion tour, IMO, should uniquely be about Buckingham Nicks the band.


Buckingham Nicks: Reflecting Our Past Tour.


Really, they'd be no more a duo than they are today in Fleetwood Mac.

You stipulated the rules, and I thought you were trying to say I should have applied your rules to my setlist. My mistake, I misinterpreted what you said. I don't really want to hear Fleetwood Mac songs during a Buckingham Nicks Tour either, but it was mentioned in the original post that stevie and lindsey probably could not avoid some FM material, and that the OP would like to hear some rareties instead of standards.

So was just reiterating what someone else had written.

In the words of Pauline Hanson, please explain why they would not be a duo? So they would have a backing band you reckon? :distress: Unless it's a minimalist backing band, that would be a shame. For me, a mainly acoustic set and some band numbers would be ideal. And no one has commented on my idea about Stevie performing the intro to Rhiannon on piano live on stage...thoughts?

I liked these (but they are solo renditions, just on piano, I would like to see her do the extended intro performed during The White Winged Dove Tour in 1981, or something similar to the Soundstage DVD from 2008.

Would be so cool to see/hear this.
Side note, is one of my dreams to play piano for Stevie or FM. Yeah, keep dreaming, I know. :laugh:

This sounds great.Plus release the album on CD. "Not on iTunes" with their crap files.

This kind of tour would be for Stevie/Lindsey fans only.

The regular music fan probably never heard their B&N tunes.

I'm guessing that if this really happened, they would finally release BN on CD! Wouldn't that be cool. I'm just wondering how it would go over with Mick and John.

Honestly I don't believe Mick or John could care less whether or not Stevie tour together - they have made guest appearances at each other's solo tours in the recent past. And thing is Buckingham Nicks: 40 Years Tour would just be an extension of their solo work almost. Well, not quite, in that they would be performing together the songs they wrote with each other many years ago, maybe some old gems and some new co-written songs. But from Mick and John's perspective - Mick especially would be a hypocrit if he expressed unhappiness or unwillingness to sanction them doing this - it's not up to him, and-
if he can perform as Mick Fleetwood Blues Band and play Peter Green songs (and the occasional Fleetwood Mac song with the ever-elusive and formidable Christine McVie might I add) then well, he has no right to complain when Stevie and Lindsey tour together and rake in the dough that he so desperately and publicly craves (wonder why he's the only one doing Meet and Greets this tour - could it have something to do with his pockets being the deepest and the emptiest?) :shrug:
John - can't see him really caring even a little bit, other than to say maybe, he supports it - maybe he and Mick would go to a Buckingham Nicks: Reflecting our Past Tour show together. Hey - if they do London, or Birmingham - maybe Chris will come watch and listen, humming and singing along merrily (tehe). :p

Speaking of Christine, we know she went to Say You Will and Unleashed London concerts to see her former band perform ...were any ledgies there; did you catch her singing along softly to Don't Stop or Say You Love Me in 2003/2009? ;)

I couldn't see her in the audience. I just heard later that she was there.

I think Mick and John could appreciate Stevie and Lindsey wanting to celebrate that phase of their career. It would only become an issue if they decided to record a new Buckingham Nicks album, which I seriously doubt would ever happen.

I wouldn't equate Mick playing in what is basically a Peter Green cover band with a Buckingham Nicks reunion. He's only doing that because Fleetwood Mac's not doing anything. However, I think he WOULD be a hypocrite if he somehow convinced Peter, Jeremy, and John to reunite as as The Original/Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac and still had an issue with a Buckingham Nicks reunion.

True, that would hypocritical. But I think when he plays with Christine - he does it not as Fleetwood Mac but as the Mick Fleetwood Blues Band and does it before offering Chris a go at Fleetwood Mac again...even then to object to Buckingham Nicks would be hypocritical - both things did and will garner lots of publicity and attention from fans. Both were/will be successful (probably).

But yeah I think Mick and John would have zero qualms with whatever Stevie and Lindsey want to do ... even if its Buckingham Nicks LP II ...what gives Mick or John the right to object or stop the project? Nothing. Yes, because of Mick and John, BN were noticed sooner than they would have been otherwise; but because of Stevie and Lindsey, Fleetwood Mac started to have massive sales and began pulling much bigger crowds. If it had been Mick, John and Chris from 1970 - 2013 ...the audience would be smaller today and the collective net worth of Fleetwood Mac's members would be much less (and not just because there would be less members).

But Buckingham Nicks II will probably not ever eventuate - we may get updated recordings of the songs they made for their second record in the seventies though, I can see that, just 4-6 songs eg Nomad, Heartbreaker, Farewell Failure, Without You [already done] etc.

If it does happen that Stevie and Lindsey release a new album ...cannot see it happening before we get one more new studio album by Fleetwood Mac. :nod:
